Are you saying that scripture is not to be taken literally?

My obvious implication was a university level knowledge of scripture. Your consistently hyper-literal interpretation of statements at times is baffling.
There's a basic agreement among the major strains of Christianity, but were I desiring a lengthy conversation (I already suggested to Showme that it's non-productive on the internet), then you are correct. I would stay within my own Catholicism. In that case, my first defense of the scriptural evidence for the dignity of women, for example, is Mary the mother of Christ.
I already sparred here regarding "literal" but to illustrate, "The Father is greater than I" and "The Father and I are one" is not a contradiction. Goes to that "hypostatic union" previously mentioned.
